Lots and lots of rain.

I have been rained on every single day since The Boy started nursery.  Today it absolutely poured down all the way there, and all the way back.  It’s still pouring now, and will probably still be pouring down when I have to go pick him up.  It’s doing my head in.  A complete waste of straighteners.  Callum, of course, loves it.  He jumped in every single puddle on the way there this morning, and despite wearing wellies and his raincoat, needed a complete change of clothes when we arrived at nursery, even down to his socks and pants.  Here’s hoping he doesn’t have any accidents as he has no spare change of clothes now.  I neeeeeeed a raincoat, as I’m sick of wrestling with an umbrella, a 3 year old and his paraphanelia, and my own bag every day.  I may buy this one:

Am I daft for even thinking about paying £25 for what is essentially a pac-a-mac?  Even if it makes me feel about 5 again?

My mother came in the other week with this geektastic old school long sleeved T-shirt for the boy.

I was, of course overjoyed with it, and he loved it as it had numbers on. Where did she buy this gem i hear you ask? Only old ladies shop BHS of all places! Excuse the state of it in this photo, I had to fish it out of the un-ironed mountain in my bedroom.

Anyway, today we were out shopping, and ventured into Zara kids. I was in heaven!!! It’s a very well kept secret that I am a bit partial to films that are remakes of comics, cult 80’s TV shows and the like. You cannot imagine my glee when I found this beauty amongst the pink polo shirts and woolen tanktops!

Of course it had to be mine….er his. With the boy only being 2 years old, he has no idea what it is all about, but he’s quite excited that he has a “tanformer” on his new top. I got some really cool black baggy combats and a gorgeous black and white striped hoody to match it, and am just waiting on his feet to take a big stretch (they haven’t grown since October!) so I can invest in some Converse Allstars for the spring. Since his mother is now over 30, and resigned to the respectability of heels and handbags, she’ll have to live her secret geeky life through her son.
